Sent to the countryside, I turned the health center into a top-tier hospital.

"Alright, stop joking around and hurry up and write out the medical record. Make sure it's detailed. If I don't think it's up to standard, I won't let you have lunch."

Chen Ping slapped Wang Tao on the head and said.

Upon hearing Chen Ping say that he wouldn't be allowed to eat, Wang Tao quickly lowered his head and began scribbling rapidly on his notebook.

He kept repeating the couple's illness and medication, as if afraid he would forget some detail if he stopped.

Chen Ping stood by and watched for a while. Seeing that he was writing seriously, he didn't urge him anymore and turned around to tidy up the medical records that had been scattered on the consultation table.

The consultation room fell silent, save for the scratching of a pen on paper and the occasional soft turning of a page by Wang Tao.

Around 11:30, Chen Ping's cell phone rang.

He took it out and saw Mr. Song's name flashing on the screen. He quickly pressed the answer button and put it to his ear.

Old Song's voice was still as loud and clear as ever; even through the receiver, you could hear the rugged strength unique to someone who had served in the military: "Dr. Chen, we're leaving for the provincial capital tomorrow. Is it convenient for you there?"

"That's convenient, Mr. Song. What time are you leaving tomorrow? I'll be ready early in the morning."

Chen Ping held his phone between his ear and shoulder, freeing his hands to neatly stack the pile of medical records on the table.

"I'll have the driver pick you up at the health center entrance at seven o'clock tomorrow morning. Just bring a few changes of clothes, don't worry about anything else."

After finishing his sentence, Old Song added, "My old comrade-in-arms is in the provincial military district's retirement home, which is not far from the provincial hospital. If there is anything he needs, we can talk about it then."

Chen Ping replied with an "okay," said a few more words about discussing things in detail when they met tomorrow, then hung up the phone and put it in his pocket.

Wang Tao was hunched over his desk writing the final chapters when he overheard Chen Ping's phone call. He looked up and asked, "Master, are you going to the provincial capital tomorrow?"

"Yes, Old Song's old comrade-in-arms is not in good health and asked me to go and see him."

Chen Ping opened the drawer, took out the needle case, and inspected it. The silver needles were neatly arranged one by one before he closed the drawer again.

"Master, the provincial military district's retirement home is full of important people. I heard there are even armed guards there."

Wang Tao's eyes were filled with excitement.

After all, this is a place that ordinary people would never dare to dream of, and a place they would never have the chance to enter.

"Hurry up and finish writing the medical records, it's almost time to eat," Chen Ping urged, then added, "I don't know how many days I'll be gone. While I'm gone, you can treat patients, but you can only prescribe medicine after you've made a diagnosis."

"If you have any illnesses that you can't figure out or understand, go ask Liu Wei or Dr. Wang. If you really can't figure it out, just call me or we can have a video call."

"But you must remember this: you cannot prescribe medicine if you cannot determine the cause of the illness. If a medical accident occurs, it can be fatal."

Chen Ping knew that medical treatment was not something to be taken lightly; a single oversight could be fatal.

At the city hospital, a nurse carelessly administered the wrong IV to a patient, which directly led to the patient's death.

The young nurse was also arrested; her promising youth was completely ruined.

Therefore, in the medical field, Chen Ping's requirements are to be serious, meticulous, and responsible!

"Master, don't worry. I've learned so much from you all this time, and it hasn't been for nothing. I understand it all."

Wang Tao said with great confidence.

He felt that after studying with Chen Ping for a while, he could generally diagnose and treat any kind of illness.

Seeing Wang Tao's confident demeanor, Chen Ping frowned instead.

"Wang Tao, remember this: don't be careless. Often, it's the swimmers who drown."

Even a minor cold or a small scratch should be taken seriously and thoroughly investigated.

After Chen Ping finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Jie and Sun Xiaoyan standing at the door of the consultation room, and then instructed them, "If Wang Tao prescribes a prescription, either of you must speak up if you see anything wrong."

"Yes!" Zhou Jie and Sun Xiaoyan nodded.

"Alright, let's go eat..."

Chen Ping called a few people to go to the cafeteria for lunch.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, everyone else was already seated, waiting for them.

Chen Ping saw Zhao Guosheng and said, "Dean Zhao, Elder Song just called and asked me to go to the provincial capital with him tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guosheng slammed the jar he was holding onto the table and waved his hand dismissively: "Go! Go without worry! Don't fret about the health center. Old Wang and I are keeping an eye on things; nothing will go wrong."

"You can eat and drink as you please in the provincial capital, and see a doctor as needed. Don't worry about the health center."

"This is considered a house call. The health center will reimburse you for all your expenses in the provincial capital. Just keep the receipts."

"The dean is so generous..." Li Fang said with a smile.

I don't know if it's sarcasm or if they genuinely believe Zhao Guosheng was generous.

Wang Tao, holding a bowl beside him, said, "Master, your treatment is even better than that of the dean."

After Wang Tao finished speaking, Zhao Guosheng glared at him, and he quickly lowered his head to eat his rice.

Liu Wei picked up a piece of green vegetable with his chopsticks, chewed it, swallowed it, and slowly said, "Dr. Chen and Old Song have such a good relationship, I think he'll definitely get a government position in the future."

"Old Song is a big shot. Just a casual word from him and he could easily arrange for Dr. Chen to become a deputy township head."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Wang Jianguo suddenly laughed and casually added, "Deputy township head? You underestimate Old Song too much."

"Back when Old Song held a position in the provincial government, even Secretary Li of Tianhai City was one of his subordinates."

"If he wanted to arrange something for Dr. Chen, let alone a deputy township head, even becoming the Party Secretary of our Siping Township would be a piece of cake."

"But Dr. Chen's ambitions lie elsewhere. If he truly desired to be an official, would he have waited until today?"

When Zhao Guosheng heard the two of them talking more and more outrageously, he tapped the table and said, "Alright, alright, you two stop discussing this about the Party Secretary. That's an organizational matter. Why are we gossiping about it?"

He paused, glanced at Chen Ping, and added, "If Dr. Chen really wants to be an official, I can give him my position as hospital director right now. I can't wait to retire and enjoy my retirement."

Li Fang took a sip of soup, put it down, and said, "Director Zhao, you may be an official in our eyes, but in other people's eyes, you're probably not even as good as a village head."

"The village chief at least governs a village, but you only manage a few houses and a few doctors. Outside of Siping Township, who even knows who you are?"

Zhao Guosheng was taken aback by her words. He opened his mouth to refute but couldn't find the right words. In the end, he picked up the cup, took a big gulp of tea, and muttered, "You're always insulting me."

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere at the table relaxed considerably.

The clinic was as busy as usual in the afternoon.

After seeing several regular patients for follow-up appointments, Chen Ping admitted a young girl who had injured her knee. Chen Ping cleaned the wound and stitched it up with two stitches, while Zhou Jie assisted her. The teamwork was much better than at the beginning.
